Release Dates for the Next Wave of LeBron James x John Elliott Icon QS Colorways

August 30, 2019 - The LeBron James x John Elliott Icon QS originates from the collaborative partnership between James, Elliott and Nike. Tipped off by an exclusive LeBron Soldier X in 2016, and crystalized with a fully formed collection featuring the Icon QS in 2018, the three-part collaboration focuses attention on creating versatile pieces that work in a range of environments, from business meetings to travel. Featuring the midsole tooling of the LEBRON 8, the LeBron James x John Elliott Icon QS exemplifies the effort with muted colorways punctuated by translucent panels.

Following the release of the black version in May, white and fuchsia colorways of the Icon QS release September 13 via Elliott's channels and September 14 via Nike. The tan colorway of the Icon QS arrives October 9.

Flip Through Your Favorite Zines With This Air Force 1

August 22, 2019 - This Nike Air Force 1 conjures the nostalgic spontaneity of thumbing through a rack of indie magazines for creative inspiration. Off-register printing on the upper rests beneath transparent stitching on the Swoosh in both flash crimson and pink. The graphics on the upper, crossed by a gridded backdrop and loud typeface, bring to mind the creative transposition of taking ideas from the magazine rack and transferring them to the sketchbook. The shoe is part of a wider pack, so look for similar graphic hits on other colorways too.

Nike SB Zoom Janoski RM “Violent Femmes”

August 15, 2019 - Milwaukee folk punk band Violent Femmes has revived its fervent fandom since the group reunited in 2013. Among those fans is skateboarder Stefan Janoski, who’s releasing a special-edition shoe.

“Violent” and “Femmes” are separately chain-stitched on the lateral side of each shoe and the words from the group's hit 1994 song “I’m Nothing” — which Janoski sings with the band on a version that releases with their newest album — are printed in Janoski’s handwriting on the tongue.

The Nike SB Zoom Janoski “Violent Femmes” releases August 15 on nike.com and at select retailers.

Nike LeBron 16 Low x Titan "Agimat"

August 15, 2019 - Evolving LeBron James' journey from Warrior to King, the latest LeBron 16 Low x Titan "Agimat" was inspired by Filipino folklore. Two new badges — a shield and a lightning bolt — are featured on the heels. The shield was inspired by the Bagobo tribe's traditional armor, while the lightning bolt symbolizes power.

The shoe is built to harness the athlete's power during play through a combined cushioning system that allows for impact absorption while providing a responsive energy return. A stretch collar and custom lacing also allows for ease of entry and security.

The Nike LeBron 16 Low x Titan "Agimat" will be available August 31 at Titan Stores, the Titan App, TITAN22.com and nike.com in Southeast Asia and North America.

NikeCourt Air Zoom Zero Aqua

August 14, 2019 - For Flushing Meadows, tennis player Sloane Stephens will rock a NikeCourt Zoom Zero fitted with a White Aqua upper from the Air Jordan VIII — the same Air Jordan that was created in 1993, her birth year. The midsole and outsole are drawn from the Zoom Zero, which features a full-length Zoom Air unit articulated for step-to-step transitions specific to tennis. The high-top upper sports colorblocking from the women's-specific White Aqua colorway and includes a chenille fabric patch and crossover midfoot straps.

The NikeCourt Air Zoom Zero Aqua releases on nike.com during Stephens' play at Flushing Meadows.

How to Get the Nike Blazer CPFM Sponge By You

August 13, 2019 - The Nike Blazer Cactus Plant Flea Market Sponge By You begins with Nike's iconic 1972 basketball shoe. The project filters the shoe through its contemporary skate heritage with deconstructed edges, an ode to the DIY customization of skate footwear and a patchwork of fabrics: loose knit, quilted, fleece and synthetic suede. The general vibe channels the type of patchwork or crocheted blankets one might find at a flea market.

Other elements of the Nike Blazer CPFM Sponge By You are, naturally, up to you.

On the multi-textured tan base color, selections for the eye-stay, lace and Swoosh can be made independently on the right and left shoes. This means one could stay the course and keep both the same, or identify a different personality for each. Either way, CPFM's unique upper articulation grants a subtle asymmetry.

The Nike Blazer CPFM Sponge By You launches on the Nike by You builder August 27.

Nike SB Blazer Low Salvator Michael

August 12, 2019 - Rooted in a collaborative relationship that stretches back to 2006, the Nike SB Blazer Low “Salvator Michael” is inspired by the character of a marquee piece in artist Michael Lau’s COLLECT THEM ALL! exhibition in Shanghai.

The canvas base fabric is cut at different angles to create unique print variations of the character. Other features are clear references within the world of art auctions. For example, staples are applied around the midsole to mimic the staples that mount a painting canvas to its frame.
